Jeep Compass Limited (4WD/9AT) [Test drive]

What surprised me when I contact the current jeep compass is that when I open the engine hood, "2."4L Multiair", which was written in red, no, an embossed resin cover jumped into my eyes."Multiair" is, of course, a valve control mechanism that is proud of Fiat.Compass 2.The 4 -liter in -line 4 -cylinder is equipped with a head mechanism that controls the opening and closing timing of the intake side valve with hydraulic pressure.

As an old guard who can't get out of the old concept of "the soul of the car is on the engine", I feel that "I should change it to a cover as much as my own brand."It doesn't have the energy of, but rather, the cooperative relationship with Fiat is going to work so well that you don't have to hide it.It is not a distant past that the tongue of the compact SUVs, "Jeep Renegate" and "Fiat 500X", was so far.

At that time, in an era when the joint -through combat between car manufacturers was actively discussed, based on the MK platform developed by the Daimler Chrysler + Mitsubishi corporate coalition, a more wild "Patriot" was released from the jeep.It was done.The synergy effect that had been promoted was demonstrated, but the two characters seemed to have a strong color, such as marketing -led, which is not very real.Patriot later disappeared from the Japanese market, but the compass gained a style imitating the top model, "Grand Cherokee," clarifying the personality of the city crossover.
